Verdict

Kie is a reliable sort and didn't do a lot wrong when runner-up to the more experienced Nozic at Kempton earlier this month but we like the way ARTHUR'S PASS is progressing. He was pulled up on his chasing bow here in November but that was his first run for 18 months and he's won twice since at Leicester in the style of an improver. A hat-trick beckons as Carrigmorna King's jumping here last time left much to be desired and he is giving plenty of weight to his two rivals.
